Burning Night, the Leeds-based bar company that owns Bierkeller, was placed into the hands of joint administrators from Begbies Traynor in September.

The company’s remaining nine subsidiary businesses have now also been put into administration, including Harrogate Bar Co. Ltd which owns the Potting Shed in Harrogate.

But the administrators say the businesses are all open and operating as usual.

Joint administrator Andrew Mackenzie said: “It is business as usual, with these six popular bar and restaurant venues continuing to trade and we are very optimistic that appropriate buyers will be found.

“We are already speaking to several interested parties and hope to be able to conclude sales in the near future in order to bring about the optimum outcome for the businesses’ creditors, staff and customer.”
